The living room now has a soft green and the kitchen has a yellow hue, the same paint that was used in the bathroom. All the painting was done by Ebru. I hate painting, lol.

The laminate floor adds a nice touch and compliments our furniture. We couldn’t be happier with the work that was provided by Granite Expo. There is no way I could have done this work on my own. 4 contractors completed the work in a day in a half.

Observations – Without carpeting we notice that all the sounds in the remodeled areas are louder. There is nothing to absorb the sound. Also, it’s a little harder on your feet since there is nothing cushioning our steps. However, it is fun watching our dogs slide across the floor during their play time.

Their nails do not have any effect on the floor as far as scratches. However, we do hear their every footstep.

Wish we had done this sooner.

It’s also the reason why I’m not online as much as night cause I’m busy working on these projects. It’s been fun and now we finally have something to show for our hard work.

Here are some pictures of our upgraded kitchen and bath here.

The counters are granite, the cabinets have been refinished (chemical refinished), and all hardware replaced with new (faucet, pipes, vanity lights, etc.).

It hasn’t gone all that smoothly especially in regards to the electrical and plumbing. Most of it was guess work, research on the net, and talking to Home Depot folks. Just crossing my fingers that it last.

Stay tuned for our next project . . .
